Each person has a spiritual obligation before God to learn how
to live well, to live fully, as opposed to knowing only how to live
comfortably.
~~Luci Swindoll
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
Ah,
comfort. Who doesn’t want to live a comfortable life? We yearn for moments when
we can wrap ourselves in a soft comforter, grasp a mug of hot tea in our hands,
and listen to the warm crackling of a fire in the fireplace. Or maybe your
picture of comfort has to do with exotic climes and a hammock stretched between
tall palm trees.
When
God provides such times of comfort, we can thank him for that gift. But when
days come that are far from comfortable, we can then take comfort in the fact
that God is teaching us to live well, to live fully.
He has more for us in life
than just to live comfortably. He may call us to take uncomfortable risks, or
forego some of what is good in order to have what is best.
Above all, it means
having Jesus, who came to give us life to the fullest.
Prayer
for Meditation
Show me your definition of life “to
the full,” Lord. Help me live your way.
Scripture
